    ARMENIA PICKS JUNIOR EUROVISION PARTICIPANT AND IT'S NOT TOP COP'S DAUGHTER

    The national selection stage for an entry to this year's Junior
    Eurovision, a popular international song contest for performers aged
    10-15, ended in Armenia Sunday night, with the daughter of a top
    official failing to pull it off.

    Ten-year-old Angela Gasparyan, whose father is Chief of the Armenian
    Police Vladimir Gasparyan, was among the 17 candidates to participate
    in the 2012 Junior Eurovision Finals, but an SMS voting after live
    performances by all contestants on Armenian Public Television favored
    a band called Compass that presented a romantic ballad, Sweetie Baby.

    Such an outcome proves wrong a number of mainly opposition media
    that, earlier this year, called the outcome of a competition featuring
    Gasparyan's daughter a "foregone conclusion", with some even suggesting
    calling it off not to "traumatize" the minds of children early on.

    Now the selected participant, Compass Band, will represent Armenia
    at a Junior Eurovision show to be held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands,
    on December 1.

    A representative of Armenia won in the contest in 2010, while the
    country got to host the show the following year.
